Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Cardiovascular care with Dr. Robert PA:

What is a Cardiologist, and when should I see one?

A cardiologist is a medical expert specializing in the heart and blood vessels. You should see a cardiologist if you experience symptoms like chest pain or shortness of breath, have a family history of heart disease, or have risk factors like high blood pressure or high cholesterol needing expert management.

What can I expect during my first visit with Dr. Robert PA?

Your first visit with Dr. Robert PA will be a comprehensive cardiovascular assessment. We will review your medical and family history, perform a physical exam, and obtain an EKG. We'll also discuss lifestyle choices and risk factors to create a personalized heart health plan for you.

What are the most important things I can do to prevent a heart attack?

Taking control of your cardiovascular health involves managing blood pressure and cholesterol, avoiding smoking, maintaining an active lifestyle, and adopting a heart-healthy diet. These proactive steps empower you to significantly reduce your risk of a heart attack.

How is Peripheral Artery Disease (P.A.D.) related to heart disease?

Peripheral artery disease (P.A.D.) is caused by the same process as coronary artery disease—atherosclerosis, or plaque buildup. However, P.A.D. affects the arteries in the legs and feet. Having P.A.D. is a significant warning sign, indicating a high risk for heart attack and stroke.

How do you treat high blood pressure (hypertension)?

We aim to not only lower your blood pressure numbers but also prevent long-term damage to your heart, brain, and kidneys. This involves foundational lifestyle changes like diet and exercise, and medication when necessary, to safely reach a personalized target blood pressure.

What is a cardiac stress test?

A cardiac stress test evaluates how your heart performs during physical activity. It involves walking on a treadmill while your EKG and blood pressure are monitored. This is a key non-invasive tool to detect potential blockages in the coronary arteries.

What is an echocardiogram?

An echocardiogram, or "echo," is a safe and painless ultrasound of the heart. It uses sound waves to create moving pictures of the heart, allowing Dr. Robert PA to assess the strength of the heart muscle, check the function of the heart valves, and detect structural problems.

What is a heart murmur?

A heart murmur is an extra sound heard when listening to the heart. Many murmurs are innocent and harmless; Dr. Robert PA is an expert at determining the cause, often using an echocardiogram to see if the murmur is related to a heart valve problem that needs monitoring or treatment.
